Hey all,

Been too busy to post much, not sure if that is a good sign or not.

I subbed today and will do so tomorrow as well.

Not sure if I have told the saga before regarding the $ that I am supposed to inherit from the death of my grandpa. It has turned into a nightmare/mini drama thanks to my aunt. She and I are the only 2 beneficiaries of my grandpa's estate. Shortly after my grandpa died, my aunt told my brother that I should be giving him 1/2 the $ that I am getting.

My aunt has created a huge mess by doing that and p***ed me off to no end. My grandpa left no provision for that in his will nor did he ever tell me to do that. But now my aunt has created an expectation in my brother's mind that I am not going to be able to fulfill.

One more person to betray me is about the size of it from where I sit.

It leaves me with a knot in my tummy just thinking about it.

LnL, you have a good point about how the M looked before it all went amok. The Dr Laura book really opened my eyes about how I probably used the typical female escape route, ie. I found a man with the character traits that I did not possess and somehow coveted, rather than becoming autonomous and developing those traits in myself. At the time I thought my M was ok, but in retropect I lost myself catering to H.

I am also reading her book about the 10 stupid mistakes that men make.
